Durham, North Carolina, United States, February 25, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Forecast Health announced the appointment of Dr. Brian P. Goldstein, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of University of North Carolina (UNC) Health Care, to its Board of Directors. Dr. Goldstein is Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of University of North Carolina (UNC) Hospitals. He is also a licensed practicing hospital internist.
Dr. Goldstein will advise, govern, and oversee Forecast Health’s strategy and vision to be the highest-value, big data analytics partner of choice for health systems. “I’m excited to join the Forecast Health board and be a part of the company’s success,” said Dr. Goldstein. “Forecast Health has created actionable and affordable predictive analytics offerings that are attractive to hospitals. These are precisely the type of analytics that are needed by us to deliver on the triple aim.” “We’re extremely delighted that Dr. Goldstein has chosen to join our board,” said Michael Cousins, PhD, President and Chief Analytics Officer at Forecast Health. “He brings a very unique combination of hospital executive management, operations, and hands-on clinical expertise that’s unparalleled.”
Dr. Goldstein will also play a pivotal role in refining Forecast Health’s solutions and drive on its mission to create actionable solutions. “Forecast Health not only identifies who’s at risk, but uniquely identifies the drivers of that risk, and the specific actions that are likely to have the highest impact. Discharge planners at hospitals want to know this information. For example, they want to know, whether a given patient’s risk arise from affordability issues so we need to provide extra medications from the pharmacy stockroom, or because of limited caregiver support so we need to order home health nurse visits. I’m excited to work with Forecast Health’s development team to build on the intellectual property and make it more actionable at the point of care delivery.” said Dr. Goldstein. Dr. Goldstein is joined on the board by Michael Ansel, SVP of Sales at ScriptSave and other founding members of the Forecast Health team. Click here to meet the Leadership Team of Forecast Health.
